"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

• These cookies have to be fabulous, just looking at what goes into them gives me a mental taste. I feel an emergency coming on I think I do too, Joell.

• So cool how that evolved. Every farm needs a cellar like that. All's I get is gossipy family members dropping by unannounced, but I don't have a cellar. I need to build a cellar. Or move. :-p
